THE WINE SPECTATOR

JULY 1999

"Fonseca '97 is one of the finest wines of the vintage. It is a fabulous young Port, with stunning aromas of liquorice, tar and berries, gobs of thick, chewy tannins and a long finish. I placed this young Port in Wine Spectator's classic quality category, 95-100 points.

"…this dark ruby/purple colored wine offers a floral, exotic, flamboyant bouquet and a sweet, fleshy style, but not a great deal of weight or massiveness. Heady alcohol, sweet tannin, and a velvety texture make for a gorgeous finish."
